Mama tells her pup to show his happy face. He proceeds to make the most hysterical face!

Humans and animals are the same when it comes to expressing emotions. When we are sad, we cry. When we are happy, we smile. And that’s true for our four-legged companions too.

If you haven’t seen a dog smiling before, now is your chance. This particular pup has the sweetest smile, and the reason for this huge grin on his face is even sweeter.

Namely, Hubert was just a five month old baby when he ended into the hands of the lovely volunteers of PAWS Chicago. Since he was still very young, the organization decided not to place him at a shelter, but at a foster home where he would adjust to being indoors before his forever family comes along the way.

It was Hubert’s foster mom Amanda Robles, who is also a volunteer at the shelter, who took the adorable video of Hubert showing how happy he was for being around people who love him and care for him.

Amanda took the video while Herbert was sitting back on his haunches, ready to show everyone how lucky and content he was. But the best thing happened when she instructed him to “say cheese.” The moment he hears these words he turns into the happiest dog on Earth. It’s truly astounding how smart this dog is.

Considering how handsome and intelligent Herbert is, you probably assume many people called the shelter asking to adopt the sweet soul. But, the reality is a bit different. Herbert spent a month at the shelter, but he eventually got his happy ending. A couple who stumbled upon Herbert’s video knew they had to have him. They turned to be wonderful people who took great care of their new doggy.

If you are feeling down, this lovely smile will definitely change your mood. Take a look at it in the video below.
